Oil Change

An easy way to keep your vehicle’s engine running smooth and reliably is to do an oil change on a regular basis. Engine oil becomes dirty and breaks down over time. The purpose of engine oil is to lubricate internal moving parts and reduce wear. Most vehicle makes and models suggest an oil change every 3000 – 5000 miles. Your vehicle owner’s manual usually includes specific manufacturer recommended maintenance schedules. If you have trouble finding the recommended schedule for your vehicle, just call us here at Gilroy AutoWorks.

Motor oil protects more functions within an engine than any other component, fluid or material. Some of the key motor oil tasks are to protect the engine by lubricating its moving parts, cool critical engine parts by transferring heat away, pump easily to critical engine parts at low temperatures, keep internal components clean and free from varnish and harmful deposits.

Your car’s filters are important to the longevity of your car and interior comfort. Maximize your car investment by replacing filters regularly. The oil filter traps contaminants, allowing the oil to flow through the engine unrestricted. The fuel filter separates harmful contaminants that may cause problems with carburetors or intricate fuel injectors.
